These early tapersticks have become extremely rare. This one is fully hallmarked underneath but the Date Letter is unreadable as it was poorly struck. The cartouches of the marks are c.1740 and the maker, Richard Gosling, started work in 1739, so it is, unquestionably, of that period. It is in very fine condition with a nice crest. 4" high, 2.5" wide at the base.

The Birmingham Guild of Handicraft was founded in 1895 by the architect Arthur Dixon. They specialised in the Arts & Crafts style, simple designs without any undue ornamentation, with a hammered finish. This finish was adopted as a signature of the Arts & Crafts style in later years. Note the year, 1895, and the date of this tankard, 1904. This firm and their associate C.R. Ashbee, who founded the Guild of Handicraft in London, were probably the earliest exponents of this genre.

A very fine example of handwrought silver by one of the pioneers in this field, William Waldo Dodge. It is very difficult to precisely date his work as there is very little information on him. What I do know is that he opened a workshop in Asheville, NC soon after WW 1 and died in 1971. In between he produced a remarkable array of handwrought silver from the plain and austere to the innovative and whimsical, which won him enormous acclaim from his peers and established him as one of the m ...click for details
